The North Vietnamese Army (NVA), also known as the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN), was the military force of North Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Established in 1956, it played a crucial role in fighting against South Vietnamese forces and their U.S. allies, aiming to unify Vietnam under communist control. The NVA was known for its conventional military tactics and guerrilla warfare strategies, significantly contributing to the eventual fall of Saigon in 1975. After the war, the NVA was instrumental in the establishment of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

Over 58,000 US servicemen died in the Vietnam War.
During WWII and Vietnam. Yes, during WWII and the Vietnam War, but to be more general, the military draft is used whenever the U.S. does not have enough voluntary recruits (meaning, when there are not enough volunteers). So, it could be argued that the military draft is used to "force" people into the army to defend their country. It has not been employed since the early 1970's.
As with most wars, it mainly effected the families that suffered losses. However, in Vietnam's case, it affected anyone facing the military draft.
It depends on which war you're referring to, but the Congress has the authority to instate the "draft", where people are forced to join the military. The draft was last used in Vietnam.
Hawks which were the people who were for war including the Vietnam war.
During the Vietnam War, the U.S. military doctrine primarily focused on "attrition" and "counterinsurgency." The attrition strategy aimed to wear down the enemy's forces through sustained military engagement, believing that a higher body count would lead to victory. Counterinsurgency efforts sought to win the hearts and minds of the Vietnamese people, emphasizing civil support and development alongside military action. However, these strategies faced significant challenges, leading to criticisms of their effectiveness and ultimately contributing to the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam.

During the war, just like everybody else; farming and opening up their stores in the morning. Except for the young men...they were being drafted into the military.
